    Glenn, please forward my condolences to Texas Jan in the loss of her husband. They both fought the good fight.

    I'm so sorry Jane's husband has died. I hope she will eventually find peace in her memories and support from family and friends.

    Chris the guy who use to repair my tack/saddles has passed. I would love to hang out with your uncle! I am thinking about making an offer on that machine! It would be so cool to own one of those cobbler machines in a treadle. I have no desire to make saddles, but it would be cool to be able to re-sheepskin/repair them! I need to meet an old saddle maker to teach me how!

    Nancy,
    You think I can get away with sneaking it into the house unnoticed? Maybe a bow on it and put it under the Christmas tree from Santa.

    it sorta looks like someone tried to stick it down the chimney - you might get by with putting it under the tree...

    Hummmmm at 28 inch neck? Now let's see, how could you hide a machine with a neck that long? NO, I don't think you can sneak something like that machine in the house - even my husband would notice that! Hehehehehehe
